Since October 5, 2012, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has taken important action on this issue. As we Esenler municipality, have told about urban renewal for citizens. Despite receiving public support is greatly, still some citizens who are not supporting urban renewal. Our purpose is not to get unearned income. Our first goal is to provide services to our citizen.
He added: urban renewal has been completed within 17 years in Paris. The reason why completion has taken much time, because risk of urban aesthetics, cultural reasons but there was never risk of life. When there would be Marmara earthquake. The country becomes smaller by 40%, that’s why when we decided to take any action, we consider all possibilities.
